About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Romantic
A journey that begun with the dream and goal of a group of people, family members, friends…. finally became a reality, to bring the true, authentic and traditional flavors of Mexican cuisine to all of you. The flavors, taste, aromas and love of the art of cooking are represented in our cuisine, the same scents that we remember coming from our grandmother’s kitchen, passed onto our mothers and now we would love to share them with all of you.
These family members, friends represent generations in the restaurant business, so much that it has stopped being just a business; it has become a passion - our passion.

    Very average restaurant, probably won’t go again. You can easily find better food for the same price somewhere else.

    The good: food was delicious with decent value for the money, service was ok. Not super attentive on the water refills, but friendly enough. The bad: dirty menus, plates left out on tables as part of table set up in an outside eating area were dusty / and not clean. Table wasn't that clean. The ugly: the outside eating area is lovely, however it is completely ruined by a cigar lounge two storefronts to the west. They have floor to ceiling open windows at the cigar lounge and when we first sat down the cigar smell was very faint, not a problem. However as the evening progressed the cigar smoke intensified to an intolerable level. Really offensive and quite unbelievable that this cigar lounge gets to pollute the other businesses in this way. The restaurant needs to install some exhaust fans or perhaps get the village to force the cigar lounge to close the windows up. The food was good enough to go back but perhaps inside seating would be best to avoid the cigar pollution.

    The service was very prompt and helpful, though not intrusive. We had a sampler appetizer plate, a wonderful creamy potato and pureed spinach soup, and shrimp tacos. The tacos were excellent, but we noticed a "sameness" to the 4 appetizers and the tacos, all fried with little taste differentiation except for the shrimp itself. The Cadillac Margarita was one of the best I've ever had. Will happily go back but will seek to stretch the taste range between courses a bit more.

    Last minute Father's Day dinner with the kids. The food was good (nice options for kids like a Mexican burger, chicken tenders, quesadillas, etc.), the margaritas were fresh, and the service was good. We sat on the front patio facing Madison Street and it wasn't too noisy - we enjoyed the fresh air. We order delivery from here a lot and already knew we liked the tacos and enchiladas. My husband had the cochinita pibil (his fave) and said it was good. I will have to eat inside next time (but I'll wait for winter!).

    Made a reservation on Sunday for Brunch. Ricky greeted us as the first customers to arrive. The service was great. The food was so good. Not your typical brunch dishes and we loved them. Can't wait to come back and try the tacos and margaritas. If the rest of the menu is as good as the brunch, we will be making a lot more trips to Axcan!

    All in all mediocre. The food was ok. The waiter was mediocre. I shared that it was my friends birthday. When he brought the deserts there wasn't even a candle or a happy birthday. Also, we ordered 4 tacos classic and 2 modern. I suggested he charge us for one classic and one modern. He came back and said since we both ordered a modern taco he'd have to charge up the higher price. Just silly! It's not a big difference but it terrible customer service. We could have just had him but the 3 classics on one and the 2 modern son the other. That they couldn't figure that out speaks to their lack of caring. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Our server Ricky was awesome, very knowledgeable and patient. I was celebrating my boyfriends birthday and the food was so delicious. We sat outside in their little patio the only down side was a little bug that wouldn't leave me alone while I ate.

    We had the 1/2 pitcher of Cadillac Margaritas. It was very good. The mahi mahi ceviche was fresh tasting (most Mexican Restaurants don't have ceviche). My tacos were ok (carne asada, carnitas, and carne desebrada.) My husband ordered the special of the day tacos - which were a chicken tinga, a cochinita, and one other. These had great flavors with interesting sauces and cheeses. We had the flan dessert. It included one coconut and one coffee flavored flan. Both were good. I would go back. I should be nice to sit in the outdoor area, once it is warmer outside.
